I missed an apex on my last session at VOI9. Sliding through the gravel towards the wall is not a pleasant experience. All I could think of was "how am I gonna drive back home to TN if I hit the wall!!". Fortunately, I stopped short. Was a little "gun-shy" after that. A year later, I spun around off the track at Nashville Super Speedway...twice...in the same corner! Instructor said it was my tires. Thanks Stan. But I've never spun around on the street...unintentionally
